Iguana struggling to climb a chair is a very good metaphor on life

If there was ever a visual metaphor for contemporary life it's this – an iguana unsuccessfully trying to climb the leg of a chair.

No matter how hard that iguana tries, it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

What's probably the most frustrating thing about this video is being a bystander and seeing the set up for what it is.

The iguana doesn't realise the leg is deliberately slippery. It also doesn't realise that even if it did reach the top, there'd be nothing there except empty space or maybe someone's bum. Neither of which are very appealing.
